TIEI:NE? said. the Right lion. Gentleman certainly 'lady stated the question which he (Mr. Lad pi l l on a t rmt.r evening. At the time when he :o4kro that qtte.tion, he held in his hand hill, in who II it iii' , stlted that the six millions AVM to he renaid on or before the sth of next April, anti he certainly thought, that when he asktd in it-11,in shape tile "re-payment was to be made, that he. could only be understood to mean the re- t aynient which was ro be made on or be foie the sth of April ; And when the Chrincellor of the Exchequer ilivvered that the re-payment was to be in money, he - (sir T.) was certainly stu pid enough to mulPrstand him as meaning. that it was to - be made at the time mentioned in the 1301. Mr. kRPE said, that afro , all that had been said on the %object, he wished to know whether the six millin►ns t. ere to be repaid before the time when the Bank was to resume its Cash Pay- meats The CHANCELLort of the EXCHECiUER.—TIke re-payment will he made at such time as the Bank may require —([Tear, hear !) Mr. GaeNFELL said, his understanding of what the Chancellor of . the Exchequer had said On a former day certainly was, that the repayment wag to be made to the Bank, not in Exchequer Bdls. but in Bank - Notes, before the sth of April. Ile now understood, that if not before the 5111 of ,April, that at least there-payment would be made during the present Session. As to making the time of re-payment accord with the time of re- Sontitig cash payments, it was to be observed th a t there Was, by the Restriction Act, an option to keep it in force for three years, and if the option was to he the continuance of the Act for three years. would the time for the re-paymeet of the six millions be proportionably extended ? He hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would condescend to aitswer this. He was desirous of taking this opportunity of observing, that Go vernment had, for some time past, been issuing Exchequer Bills at a premium of two-pence per cent, per diem, which was equivalent to about 3 per cent, per annum, even deducting the premitun received for the Bills issued at that rate. It was very gratifying that Government should be able to. raise money on such moderate terms. But the most important effect was, that the tendency would directly he to keep down the rate of interest throughout the country. He then descanted on the political benefits of the rate of interest being ; 11141 it stimulated commerce and IMMO.. facaures, and enabled Gentlemen of landed pro perty to borrow money upon the security of their est es. It was a cOrrunon objection to she he • nefits of a low rate of interest, that it had dencv to withdraw capital from the country, for the puppose of being deposited in the funds in foreign States or otherwise abroad, where a higher rate of interest could be obtained. To this he replied, that the badness of the security of any 'Foreign Government would naturally pre vent any considerable part of the capital of this Country from being deposited or employed else where than this Country. Ile thought that the rate of interest throughout the country ,was •irow so low, that the Bank ought to lower its rate of discount. 11 that was done, it would he _beneficial, not only to the mercantile-hitt:rest, but to the interests of the Bank itself. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Said, that in reply-to the first question of the Hon. Gentle man who spoke last, it would be enotigh to say, that the re-payment of the six millions was to be made to the Bank in the course of the prei•ent year. He generally concurred with the principles laid down by the Hon - . Gentleman, but would not detain the House further, than inertly to say that it was very gratifying to his Majesty's Government to have been able for some tintepast to raise money at P lower rate of interest than had been paid for Loans at any period for a long series of years.— (Hear, hear !) SECRET COMMITTEE. m r . BhoUGHAM wished to know from the Noble L or d opposite' when it ,sr-as probable that the Report of the Secret Committee would -be -pre sented to the House ? Lord CASTLECEAGH replied that he could not name any probable day. The Committee was still actively employed. The Report of the ExChequer Bills Bill was then eceiwed and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Report of the Malt Duty Bill was received and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Mr. CAecnater presented a Petition from the Constables attending the House, praying for re muneration. The Petition was read, and ordered to lie on the table. A Committee to be tnoved for on 11.1ouch , y to take it into consideration. SCOTS BOROUGH EFFORM. Lord A. HAMILTON rose, pursuant to his no tice, to call the attention of the House to the re form whirl had recently been 'nratle in one of the Boroughs in Scotland. His . motion would he for - st copy of the Act of Warrant under which the re cent changes had been in the constitution of the borough of Montrose. Ile disclaimed any inten tion of mixing op this question with any thing relating..to_Parliamentary Refoirri ; and wished to confine it solely to the state of the Royal Boronghs in Scotland. As these Boroughs were now con stituted, the Burgesses bad nothing to do with the election of the Magistrates, yet these Magis trates had the power of assessing the burgesses to any amount. The Magistrates,inshort, might incur what debtS they pleased, and for the payment of those di bts the property of the burgesses was re sponsible. The first and greatest grievance of which he complained Was this. The second was the mode of keeping the accentits of the Corporation. It. had been decided, in several cases, and by the autito• rity of Lord Kannes, that the Courts of Justice had no power or tontrold over the mode in which those accopnts were kept. It lately happeoed that the Corporation of the Borough of Montrose te;l Into a state of complete Akio lucion. 61, the ivy Connell, by the instrument for'n copy of ‘vhicii lte would- trove, hid granted what was in Scotland riled a new sPt of 'the - Borough. and had constituted it anew, on piineiples that the grievance of which he complained - WKS abolished, mild the burgesses now elected the Magistrates. He (lid not blame this alteration of the Constitn- ;ion of the Borough; but he blauied•the ltall4 by which it had been done. Instead' of having the authority of Parliament, it was done by the Crown, and that he conceived to he at► usinpation on the rights of the Parliament. Ile was aware there was a precedent in the case of the Borough of which was altered in a similar way some years ago; but he denied the authority of that precedent. It was his intention tai bring the ques tion of the general state of the Royal Boroughs in Scotland bettsre the House soon after Easter. : In the mean time he moved, " That there be laid before the House a copy of the Act and Warrant by his Majesty in Council, dated in Sept. 1817, authorising the guild-brethren and burgesses . of !Montrose to alter the set or Constitution of that borough for all time to conic." Lord CAsTLEREAGH said, he would leave the legal part of the question raised by the Noble Lord to be answered by his, Honourable a►►d Learned Friend, the Lord Advocate. But he felt it his duty to oppose the motion of the Noble Lord, because he conceived it aimed solely at a Parliamentary Reform in the Scots Borouglo.— The Corporations of these Boroughs could only be viewed in two lights—as political or as admi nistrative. It was in their political character alone that he conceived them to he pointed at in the present - motion anti nlieri,or views of the Noh!e Lord. If they were looked at only as adminis trative bodies; the extreme good order and de cinnm which characterised the population of Scot land was a sufficient evidence that there was no thing- to be complained of in the way in which the Magistrates of the boronghs exercised thjr func tions of administering the laws. It had certainly always been objected to the Scots boroughs that he courts of justicc had no power to look into their ac cottots ; but if the remedy of that defect was in the contemplation of the Noble Lord; he need only remind him that his Learned Friend, the Lot d Advocate, bad this very day given notice of his intention to bring in a Bill to supply that defect in their Constitution. The production of the paper moved for would he of no practical utility whatever. The Noble Lord had not made out any grotind whatever for it production. It the motion %VHS agreed to, it would have no other effect, than to be construed in to a recognition of the principle that a Parliamentary Reform ought to take place in the Boroughs. If there was auy tking illegal in the case of Montrose, the proper place to canvass it in was a Court of Law ; or it what had been done was improper - in a Parliamentary ptilot of view, as affecting; the election of a Member of Parliament for tnat Borough, the Gre►rville Act expressly provided that such a gnestion es con cerning the law of Elections should be tried, not I►v the house itself, but by u Committee of the ilotis - e, appointed On oath. There w:is, there fore, no good that could restdt from the motion, and for these reasons he felt it his duty to op- pose it. Mr. ABERcßomate spoe shortly in favour of the moliOn. He pressed the necessity of a Reform in the Constitution of ►he .`,4coteb Boroughs, and denied that the question, as now brought tomard, involved thou of a Parliamentnry Reform in those Boroughs. The subiect was a fit one ti' Legislative interference, and there:ore he should vote for the motion. The Lo HD ADVOCATK of SCOTLAND said that the Noble Lord, whose motion was before •the Horace, was CMPriCtely mistaken as to the right of :ilagisttates of toe Scots boroughs to assess the burgesses. Did that Noble Lord forget the Act of the Scots Parliament commonly called the " Declaration of Grievances," Wherein it was declared to be tinlawfOl to levy any taxes without the authority of Parliament ?—(Hear, bear !)—. 'he Noble Lord was wrong in saying that the litirgesses were liable fbr wii , atever debts the corporation might choose to eootrAct. There was no inslance whatever of any stieh liability. It %vas so completely out of the "question, that no burgess back ever been made to pay tor 'any sack debts—no Action had ever been comrtienetd to try their liabi lity: In the case of the borough of Aberdeen in deed, an attempt bad been made by the corpora tion to levy some petty tax 'upon the burgesses in the shape of customs, and the vestion was triad at law. But on an appeal to the House of Lords here, it:was decided that the corporation had no right whateverto levy any tux, hoWever small, without the authority of Parliament. As to what had been recently done in the case of Montrose, he contended it was 'perfectly legal ; but it was wrong to say that a borough was dissolved when there was a failure of the right to elect in bur gesses. Lot d Mansfield, in the case of the Mayor of Colchester versus Seabear, Burrow's Reports, 3tl vol. p. 1566, decided that in such a case a bo rough %las not dissolved. As to the reform made in the borough of Stirling ita 1761, which had been alluded to by the Noble Lord, that reform was - precisely the same, and effected in the same manner 'as What had been recently done in the case of Montrose. That it was strictly legal could not be denied, for the:Legality of what wa• done at Stirling had been expressly acknowledged by the Courts of Justice, and even by this [louse, for before -both had the question been diScussed and decided. The principle was clear and untie oiable, that the King has a right to the set of a borough when the right of the corporation of the borough is in abeyance. -He wished to know what evidence there waa before the House, that the people were not sati•6el with the constitution of their boroughs ? Disturbances had .certainly taken place in Scotldnd, but none on that ac count ; and if the Scorch people were alarmed, it would be at measures hke that proposed .by the Noble Lind. Mr. ABERCROMBIE RIM the LOZtD ADVOCATE mutually explained. Sir J. MAcKt NI-us"! complained that the nature of the motion had been totally misrepresented. fin endeavour to rrform one single borough %Vas n(' systen i calculated to change the constitution of the whole. The people of Stag Land were not (pi tl!e smite foolinst, tit tVat Finglaiol - a's to elec ti.'o3. Though he thooght tmitersal suffrage the worst mode: of election, yet he _could - not be brought to aprove of that adopted in Scotland where !here was,' in fact, no popuhr election at . all. Th e ques tion not, - whether the Croton might revive the Corporation of a borough, bat whether in so doing the Crown might alter its constitution. In the case of such a.preroptive, now for the first time assumed by the Crown, it was the duty of the House to iniluire into the ground nn which that.. prerogative was assumed. li e did n o t deny that it might exist, but he wished to :Ascertai4i whether it did, • , Mr. .1. P. GRANT thought that the house ought to consider whether the crown possessed by law the prerogative alluded to, and if it did, to inquire whether it might not he proper to introduce some ,Parliamentary regulations to modify that unde fined and nnrontrolled power ? Sir It. FEagusosa contended, that a strong anxiety existed in the people of Scotland to be re lieved from the state in which they stood with ' respect to elections. Lord A. HANILTort, in reply, alluded to the abuses existing in Scotch boroughs, and the debts kvhich those abuses forced them to contract. The town of Aberdeen had thus sunk into a debt of 230,0001.; and within the last two years the Corporation had been obliged to borrow 57,0001. to pay interest alone. As to the opinion of the lion. Gentlemen opposite respeCting the subject of his motion, lie was just as south at a loss as at the commencement of the discussion. He should therefore think it his duty, at a Witte period, to move - for a Committee to investigate the subject. Mr. Fottßes Also defended the conduct of the Corporation of Aberdeen. There were two sidrs of a gneqion, and the Noble Lord had caught hold only of one. Mr. W. SMITH said, that the question of Par liamentary Retorm had never been mixed with the complaints made against the Corporation of Aber deen. After a few words from Mr. R. DouoLAs, the question was put and negatived without a division. PRIZES. Sr J. MACKINTOSH moved for an account of all l'ijzes of War,. other than Droits of the Crown and Droits of the- Admiralty, and of such prizes as had been vested in, the captors by the adyidication of Courts' of Pt zes, fyom.the Ist of Fein - luny, 1793, specifying the date, source and amount of each receipt, together with a like ac count of the application and expenditure of the same. The CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER wished the Hon. Member would postpone lais motion till Monday, that it might be ascertained whether snch a►r account could be produced., The-motion was then withdrawn. Mr. WARD presented some Ordnance Accounts. Ordered to lie on the 'fable. '1 he Snigery PraCtice Regulating Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Thursday next, and to be printed. Adjou►neti'ill Moudiy. LAW IN f ELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEa,.ls. ClU'yl CON. FRANCES V. WILKS. In th:s case the plaiiiriff, who hold n sitinvian i l l a pt i tilic office, Sought to recover from the de fenant, who is tieScrilml to be a physician, the sitm of 2,0001. as a compensation or debauching his xvit.e.• itir. Sergeant VAu6l-tAt: stated the circutristatrees of the case to the Jury ; in doing which he ani madverted in very strong terms upon the heinous'. ness of the offence. The plaintiff, he observed, was a man who held a situation in a public office, and tire defendant was •by profession a physician, who had been introduced into the family hy Mr. °Nen, a - Gentlet»an extensively known, and highly respected by all who knew bim, not only,for liis talents, but also for the high and deserving character he sit Stained in 'society. Mr. Fran-' ces was married in tpt year 1812 ; and down to tSf7 they lived together in an unititer ,rtipted state of happineSs ; there was scarcely :my disparity between them in years, and their inatrinionial alliance Was, crowned by an issue of two ckildren. The defendant, the Learned Sergeant contended, was d.oihly culpable—first, inasmuch a 3 the 'friendly introduction to the fa mily by Mr. Owen ought to have been a barrier to 'any criminal innovation upon the happiness of its inemberS ; and secondly, that as he was intro duced in a professional capacity to administer to • the irldisposition of Mrs. Frances, he ought not to have taken an adYantage of her situation, but in stead-of being her seducer, ought to have been her protector and friend. It Might be urged, that he Was in a state of poverty, and therefore inca• rabic of paying heavy damages'; but to thir. he had only to say, that the law said, " If a !nail could not pay in purse, he must pay in person." And with these brief observations, he should rely upon the Jury for a verdict. Mr. CA SE ER D, who was with the Learned,Ser grant, then proceeded to call evidence. Thomas Dean produced a copy of the r. moister of the mar riage of Mr. and Mss. Frances at St. Andrew's, Flo4Fior.n, ou the 14th of May, IS 19.lilleS West and others were present.
